Impel+ has also partnered with the Austin Technology Incubator to provide additional resources and programming to startups

"It was a great experience to travel down to EarthX and be around a bunch of brilliant folks working on great new technologies," said Grant Gunnison Founder and CEO of Zero. "Being able to participate in events like EarthX has helped sharpen my vision, how to articulate it, and get people excited about what we're doing."
